It's much easier than, I think, we expect. You just have to add the TMB banner (or at least a text link) to your blog's sidebar. When someone clicks through from your blog to http://www.topmommyblogs.com, the TMB home page... that is the "vote". A vote is just a fancy word for a referral. If the referral is new w/in the last 24 hours and not using any sort of IP blocking (common for work computers) or proxy server, it's counted. Keep in mind, the site doesn't update in real time so it can take a few days. So for example, if someone "votes" for you today, that vote isn't included until tomorrow.

If you think there is an issue with your account, vs. figuring it all out, you'll want to email me w/your account info.
